Version 7.0.4 SLE:

This version adds support for Mac OS X 10.6.8.

The process of gathering permission data prior to permission repairs is now much faster.

PPDs are now listed in alphabetical order in the PPD Inspection list regardless of name case and population of the PPD Inspection list is now much faster.

Switching between PPD directories in the PPD Inspection tab no longer clears the Inspection list. Instead, the list can be refreshed manually.
